Announcing a specialised learning and researching opportunity in 2015:

The Scottish Institute

This Institute is a small group experience, limited to 15
registrants. The Institute is for Professional and Semi-Professional
genealogists who may or may not conduct research for clients with Scottish
ancestry.

The week will offer speakers on several topics including:

The
holdings of the GRO

The holdings of the NAS

Land Records

Palaeography

National Health
archives

Highland Records and Resources

Maps, newspapers and other resources at the NLS

Court records

Ancestral tourism

Scottish
Genealogy Network

The week culminates with a joint Professional Development
Day with members of the Scottish Genealogy Network. This day of workshops will
be followed by social networking with our colleagues in Scotland which will provide you with the
opportunity to make important connections on the ground in Scotland.

The week is well balanced with 20 hours of learning and 20 hours of research.

About Me

Scottish born, Canadian raised, Christine Woodcock had the
best of both worlds, growing up immersed in Scottish culture. Realising that
others of the Scots diaspora were not as fortunate, she started her business,
Genealogy Tours of Scotland (https://www.genealogytoursofscotland.ca/)
to allow others researching their Scottish roots the opportunity to return to
the land of their ancestors, conduct family history research and deepen their
sense of belonging to their ancestral kin.
